Kizer Hornet Fixed Blade Blade Knife Black PVD Stonewashed/Green Acrylic

The Kizer Hornet is a compact fixed blade built for lightweight performance and dependable everyday utility. Its 2.52" sheepsfoot blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a steel known for its solid edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The black PVD coating adds extra surface durability and a subdued, low-glare finish, while the stonewash treatment helps mask wear from regular use. The result is a blade that looks tough and works even tougher.

The sheepsfoot profile delivers a strong, straight cutting edge with a reinforced tip, giving you controlled slicing power without unnecessary aggression. It’s a practical shape for precision tasks, from opening packaging to cutting cordage and handling detailed work. At just 6.4" overall, the Hornet keeps a compact footprint that’s easy to carry and deploy when needed.

One of the standout features is its skeletonized tang construction. The internal weight-reducing design keeps the knife strong while trimming excess mass, and the semi-translucent green acrylic handles allow you to see the skeletonization beneath. That visual window creates a unique layered effect, showcasing the engineering while adding depth and character to the design. It’s a modern look that pairs durability with style.

Despite its rugged build, the Hornet remains lightweight at only 3.6 ounces. The balanced construction and streamlined profile make it comfortable in hand and practical for extended use. The handle material provides a secure grip while letting the internal structure shine through, giving this knife a distinctive presence among fixed blades in its class.
